~Rock On~

Hello Girls, Well I'm so excited about this weekend...Not only is it Easter...But Len loves old cars , he loves to buy them, restore them, read about them, in fact he has 10 of them. well you get the picture, In fact I told you that's how I met him over 8 years ago he came up here to my mountain top because I had a Red 1967 El Camino for sale and he was here for over 7 hours...Well needless to say I knew by the time he left he was more interested in Little Red than my Red car ha ha!! Any way we have been planning this fun Rockabilly weekend in Las Vegas for over 6 months now...YIPPEE!!! Len will be in seventh heaven ha ha!! Music from the 50's with Chuck Berry...good grief he's older than dirt now ha ha!!









And Vegas may never be the same again...You see we have planned this fun trip so we could meet up with Chari and Russell from "Happy To Design" I met Chari about 3 years ago on another website "Rate My Space" and we fast became the best of friends...She is like the Sister I never had...sighs. I just know that we will have the best of time together....We are going to Paint that town Red ha ha!! Russ and Chari are driving their 1953 Ford all the way from Colorado to Vegas....while Len and I are the lazy ones and flying in to meet them on April Fools day ha ha!!

Now Chari is concerned that maybe the guys won't like each other...Well their guys and they both love old cars so what's not to like ha ha!! Chari has never been to Vegas before...Where as Len and I went 4 years ago and got married there on Christmas day...And No the Elvis Impersonator did not perform the ceremony ha ha!!


All the Daffs are in full Bloom and waiting for Easter day...May all of you have a GREAT week and I'll see you when I get back on April 6th...And "Remember what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" ha ha!!

So until next time from my mountain top to yours,

Hugs and smiles Glria

~Strolling along~

Today I had to go to town to get a new pair of Tennis shoes to wear to Vegas next week when I meet up with Chari at "Happy To Design" and was just strolling through the Antique shops....Any hoo I done did it again....Now for those that read my blog know I Love all things Victorian and Children's pieces really can grab my heart....I did a post about my Victorian high chair that made into a Rocker click here to see.... Oh but I have wanted one for 20 years that made into a Stroller and every time I find one it's so much $$$....But hold everything the Antique God's were looking after me today...I finally found my Old Stroller High chair YIPPEE!!! Did you Hear me SCREAM....And girls this is by far the best one I have ever seen....



Check out her wheels....Is this not darling...well I know to some it's nothing to get excited over...But to me this was a 20 year hunt...One more of my wants to check off my Antique list ha ha!!


Now she is made into a Youth Chair...



With the food tray...


The Cane seat...sighs



And with an Ugly doll in it ha ha!!! Do any of you remember these Dolls ?? they were called Attic Babies from many years ago....I made at least 3 dozen of these things and even sold them at one time ha ha!!! Oh before I forget I did get my New tennis shoes ...And I did save money there as I wear a size 4 in a Kid's shoe so they don't cost me as much as women's shoes...I know it sounds cute to have a small foot but you try buying High heels in that size ha ha!!!

I'm hooking up with Cindy at "My Romantic Home" so please go by and see the fun Show-n-Tell's today...Thanks Cindy for a fun day...

Until next time from my mountain top to yours,

Hugs and smiles Glria
